Department of Commerce federal obligations in Kansas

Eighty Commerce rows on Kansas

Department of Commerce as awarding agency, Kansas as place-of-performance: 80 records summing to $599,473,321.13. A Department of Commerce award coded outside KS is out. An award in Kansas from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Kansas (KS) excludes Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Colorado. A Wichita-coded award with an Oklahoma place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

80 awards against $599,473,321.13 is a thin 80-award Commerce file against a large dollar total, similar in shape to Nebraska Commerce. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 80 as 80 unique NOAA station lists, census operations, or named manufacturers. Department of Commerce in Kansas is the both-keys table. Kansas federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Commerce is the agency book without an KS filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Eighty awards against a nine-figure total is a thin file. This 013 join is not Kansas Treasury 014. Do not invent a named plant in Wichita or Topeka as the whole cell. Correlation is not causation: Kansas did not cause $599,473,321.13 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 013 × KS only.

A thin file is not a factory census

$599,473,321.13 does not measure NOAA station lists, census operations, or named manufacturers. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 013 and an KS place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 80 awards as a census of NOAA station lists, census operations, or named manufacturers. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Kansas federal spending or Department of Commerce matched $599,473,321.13 and 80, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state Commerce joins are other pairs, not addends.

Kansas, not a Wichita-only map

Place of performance KS is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Kansas (KS) excludes Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Colorado. A Wichita-coded award with an Oklahoma place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $599,473,321.13 by city, county, or named facility. 80 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Few awards, still obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $599,473,321.13 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Kansas confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Kansas’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 80 awards USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $599,473,321.13. Sharing a geography with Department of Commerce does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.

Citing Commerce in Kansas

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Commerce (agency 013) obligated $599,473,321.13 on 80 awards coded to Kansas. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as NOAA station lists, census operations, or named manufacturers.

Prefer Department of Commerce in Kansas if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Kansas federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to KS. Department of Commerce is the 013 parent without the KS filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $599,473,321.13.

A usable footnote names Department of Commerce, Kansas, $599,473,321.13, and 80. The compact headline $599.5M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $7,493,416.51 is $599,473,321.13 divided by 80. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
